Out-of-control Player Punches Referee

[Bradley Batt]

I wanted to call your attention to a story just posted on Officiating.com involving an American player on an Argentinean team punching out an official.

After being given a technical foul the player confronted the official and sucker punched him - knocking him unconcious. The referee is still recovering from a broken jaw an possible blindness.

There is more about this event, including photos and video, at the following link: Out-of-control Player Punches Official
